Once it has completed, if it is successful, your certificates will be in /root/.acme.sh//. This will take a little over two minutes to run. # export CF_KEY = '' # export CF_Email = '' # cd / root /. We'll checkout from git since I prefer to see shellscripts before I run them, particularly when doing so as root. One notable thing is that md5sum, which I needed to use, is apparently not something that FreeBSD provides by default (who knew?) so you'll need to pkg install coreutils and use gmd5sum if you happen to be using FreeBSD (on most Linux distros you simply get md5sum as part of the base install).įirst step is to install the acme.sh client that will obtain the LetsEncrypt certificates. One thing to keep in mind is that my Plex server runs in an iocage jail on FreeNAS so if you're running Plex on Linux it will look a bit different since this is FreeBSD-based.
Since I also used the same CloudFlare-based API updates for DNS, this one goes through a bit more detail than the previous post simply because I had to go through it again and could capture the steps along the way. The latter looks like far too much effort to go through, but I did get it up and running for Plex pretty quickly this morning. There were another two things around the house that I wanted to have proper SSL certificates on: my Plex server and the Unifi Controller. The other day I blogged about using LetsEncrypt with FreeNAS.
